2021 Weemala Merlot
WEEMALA
For those that enjoy something just a little bit different, our extremely drinkable Weemala range has a very loyal following. They're all complex with pretty aromas, deep flavours and excellent value for money.
Weemala is both an Aboriginal word for ‘good view’ and the name of the Logan vineyard in Mudgee. The little devils on the labels represent the local Mudgee birds that have too good a view of our vines in Mudgee and Orange.
TASTING NOTES
The Weemala Merlot balances structure, fruit and savoury perfectly. Keep some for a few years to allow for the earthy savoury notes to come forward as the tannins soften. This is the wine to open when you are entertaining friends.
2021 Weemala Merlot – actually 100% Mudgee in 2021 and it has that classic Mudgee Merlot aroma of violet, truffle and blueberry, but you might also find a little strawberry, cherry, red liquorice, fresh earth and tobacco if you look hard enough. Our 2021 Mudgee Merlot fruit wasn’t very tannic, which means this is drinking very easily. Pairs well with most proteins, umami rich veg and red fruits.
Our 2021 Weemala Merlot has aromas of strawberry, cherry, red liquorice, fresh earth and tobacco. Medium bodied with flavours of plum, black and blue berries with smooth, soft tannins and a long lingering finish.
